Hi all,

I would appreciate your honest opinion and suggestions.

I am wondering if I’m ready to move up from 5NL to 10NL.

Background:

December 2014: 26K hands on 10NL zoom poker on PS with 1BB/100 winrate
November 2014: 13k hands on 5NL zoom poker on PS with 12BB/100 winrate
August 2014: 14K hands on 5NL rush poker on FT with 5.6BB/100 winrate
2013 9max 5NL rush Poker on FT 40K hands with 3bb/100 winrate.
2013 2NL regular tables on 888 poker 15K hands with 43BB/100 winrate.

Since last month I decided to make a run and try to build a bankroll.

I am currently playing on william hill (Ipoker), unfortunately I had to switch networks and I am not able to play on pokerstars in my current country of residence. So I will stay on William hill and I-poker.

Since April I’m playing 5NL speed poker with 7BB/100 winrate over 22K hands (this is without rackeback)- inclusive of Rackeback winrate = 11BB/100

Current Bankroll on William Hill= 350 Euro

Now my questions:

1. In your opinion am I even ready to move to 10NL?
2. If so as there is no 10NL speed poker running on ipoker, ever.. (only 5NL and 20NL + 100NL) Does it make sense to move from 5NL speed to 10NL regular tables?
or should I try to continue building a roll at 5NL and switch to 20NL once I have a sufficient bankroll? (which would be how much?)
3. Has anyone faced the same obstacle at I-poker when playing speed?


Any thoughts and input is much appreciated.

In my opinion yes you are ready to move up to 10NL.

Although it was only a small sample (15k hands) you absolutely crushed 2NL whether it was a heater or not.

Then you are a winning player at 5NL also over a bit of a better size hand sample. Plus your WR was increasing every month which suggests that you may also be getting better the more hands you play.

It depends whether or not you prefer Speed Poker apposed to normal cash tables. If it was me I would not skip 10NL as your WR is only 1BB/100 after 25k hands.

I would suggest playing a minimum of 50k hands at 10NL, 100k would be better. See what your win rate is like, go through your Pokertracker or Hold Em Manager database and try and plus some leaks then if your Bankroll allows then move up to 20NL.

Bet 365 always has Sprint Poker tables running at 10NL and most cash games there seem to be quite soft at the lower stakes.

Anyway Good Luck with whatever decision you make :)

no further discussion just move up, you have the bankroll to do that and you are a winning player at NL2-NL5 there isn't musch different at NL10, just give your self a shot, if you don't feel comfortable with the money, if you lose 3-4 buy ins just move down to NL5 and build again, i-poker network is very soft i have played in william hill about 5-6 years ago, idk if something has change over these years and i think regular tables are much easier to play.
